Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.
Clarification statement: Emphasis is on both qualitative and quantitative evaluations of devices. Examples of devices could include Rube Goldberg devices, wind turbines, solar cells, sound level or light meters, solar ovens, and generators. Examples of constraints could include use of renewable energy forms and efficiency.
Assessment boundary: Assessment for quantitative evaluations is limited to total output for a given input. Assessment is limited to devices constructed with materials provided to students.

Performance Level Descriptions
Every Regents exam question on HS-PS3-3 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.
Level 1: Given a device or model of a device that converts one form of energy into another form of energy, identify the design variables and/or the energy transformations. June 2026 · Q11 June 2026 · Q16 June 2026 · Q27
Level 2: Given a device or a model of a device that converts one form of energy into another form of energy, evaluate the energy output and the energy input or propose a refinement to improve efficiency, or given two or more devices or models of devices that converts one form of energy into another form of energy, evaluate the energy output for the same energy input. June 2026 · Q12 Sample · Automotive Optics Q1
Level 3: Evaluate and/or refine a given device that converts one form of energy into another form of energy in order to meet given constraints, or given a device or model of a device that converts one form of energy into another form of energy, calculate the device's efficiency.
Level 4: Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.
Level 5: Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy, and explain how a similar device could be used to solve a real-world problem using student generated sources of evidence.
Resources
Examples and discussion of resources for the learning, teaching, and assessment of HS-PS3-3.
This section could be expanded upon. You can help out by adding to this section.
NGSS Dimensions
Performance expectation HS-PS3-3 was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
Science and Engineering Practices
- Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
- Design, evaluate, and/or refine a solution to a complex real-world problem, based on scientific knowledge, student-generated sources of evidence, prioritized criteria, and tradeoff considerations.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
- PS3.A: Definitions of Energy
- At the macroscopic scale, energy manifests itself in multiple ways, such as motion, sound, light, and thermal energy
- PS3.B: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer
- (NYSED) Energy exists in many forms, and when these forms change, energy is conserved.
Crosscutting Concepts
- Energy and Matter
- Changes of energy and matter in a system can be described in terms of energy and matter flow into, out of, and within that system.
